Must win game for Raptors.
That was such a massive disappointment. Toronto must make their damn shots.

If you're Houston do you stand under Curry on the jumper to get him out the game?
He signed a max contract last off season. I think brand Jordan should do some ads with him and focus on the fact he never talks. quiet dominance
They'll have to take out Green or Thompson as well to have a chance at the series.
I believe he's talking about Whiteside, not Kawhi lol
My bad its early in the morning. Whiteside on a max contract is kinda scary that's a big gamble

I look forward to seeing how the Warriors turn this into a sign of disrespect and proof that no one believes in them.

i expect more potent late game moving screens coming from Draymond now that he wants to put the league on notice

McHale was joking around last night that every award should go to any of the Warriors players.
E: I'm probably one of the few that enjoyed Marv and Kevin working together.

I actually think raptors will still win the series.
It would be way too funny and embarrassing for them to lose first round this year.
I think the pistons are the toughest opponent for Cleveland in the east.
If Warriors dont have curry, I dont know if they can make it past the first round.

Against the Rockets, Warriors will be fine. Houston was one of the teams that lost to the Warriors during the regular season without Curry
Just heard about Jalen Rose's made up Shit during halftime of Game 1. No one even used analytics or whatever the fuck metric to even justify that Dwight Howard had a "good season."
Fucking Shit does not know what he's talking about. The eye test here in town proves that he didn't step up.

The Raptors should win their series but if PG keeps on playing like he did they're probably fucked, especially if the Raptors' front court continues to play like garbage.
They're more than capable of beating the Rockets in Oracle without Curry. I think he should start if his ankle poses no threat of re-injury but if there's any question he should sit.
Yea maybe. This Rockets team is really unpredictable. They are able to play against elite level teams but are also able to suck ass. I dont know how reliable Klay is during playoffs.
which is funny
here is another fucking insane stat
if Kawhi would have shot just a measly 2.5% better on his free throws he also would have been in the 50/40/90 club
thats fucking insane
Which is crazy given what he does on defense

What are the chances lakers offer Whiteside a max contract and he actually accepts? Is it wrong of me to rather have Whiteside rather than DeRozan?
he missed practice.....they might as well just rest him. If Golden State cannot beat the rockets without him, I would be worried in the long run if Curry gets that ankle agitated again. A small bruise or injury can cause you to move your body differently than compared to healthy. A simple thing as a cut on your hand can cause you to do things to avoid hitting it again for pain. Now take that jack it up to 11 while pushing your body to its limits and its a disaster waiting to happen as you are trying not to use your ankle a certain way while putting even more stress on other parts making them even more injury prone now.
They really should just sit him.
Valanciunas was the second best player on the court Saturday. Myles Turner is going to have to prove he can hit outside shots to pull JV away from the basket. The Pacers can't rely on the refs keeping him out of the game.

A loss is a loss, but it was only by 4 points, and we had T.J. on the floor most of the time which is a big reason for Green's triple double. Klay's still a threat, though. I'm not making any grand claims. All I'm saying is that it was only a 4 point loss.
Or have him suit up but only play if needed in the 4th
Which I don't actually recall ever really happening for some reason, dunno why
Kawhi is definitely one of my favourite players to watch. He's constantly frustrating chumps and champs on defence. Well deserved.
I'm heading to the Raps game tonight, and hoping for a better result than the shit sandwich they served up for brunch on Saturday.
Curry is so important to the Warriors team. If hes healthy, then it doesn't matter what happens in these playoffs cause the end result is gonna be Warriors champs.
Last year I would have voted for Curry to be Finals MVP. Ya Iguodala was really valuable, and without him they probably would have lost to Cleveland, but without Curry they probably would have gotten swept.

I was wondering this too. Is it considered disrespectful for a starter to play of the bench or something? Makes sense to me to wait and see how the game goes without him first.

Warriors were on a the tail end of a back to back road game. This scenario won't happen in the playoffs. I'm all for resting Curry, but I do recognize a hot Harden + really good game by Dwight can potentially derail this..The big problem will be what kind of lineup tweak will be necessary. I can't imagine Klay having to guard Harden if Curry is out especially when his offense is needed.
I want him to play with his fro out during an all star game.

The real question is if he'll take less with the Heat between them waving florida's no state tax in front of him along with playing with a competitive team and general loyalty for the team that has helped to develop him into what he is today. Because someone is guaranteed to try to max him so the temptation will be there

Unless it's just barely below the max, he'd be stupid to take any offer less than the full max.

Stephen Curry misses shootaround, still questionable for Game 2
Looks like he missed today's shootaround. Most likely a no go for tonight.

Also didn't have Festus, Barnes or Barbosa in that game. Was an impressive win for sure.
And to me it's really not a big deal even if Houston wins tonight with Curry out. Still confident we can wrap the series up in 5 or 6.

oh i don't think the heat will keep him, i don't get the sense they'll willingly max him and other teams are going to sell him hard on being the centerpiece of their teams. I was just posting that as a possibility
